We began our meeting by presenting a cheque for £300 to a representative from Weston Hospicecare which was the total of our fundraising for 2018. She thanked us warmly for our efforts and invited us to come along as a group to visit the Hospice.
We had a most interesting talk from Stephen Bellingham who is a travel counsellor. He explained a lot about the changes to come when travelling to Europe Post Brexit.
There have been quite a few suggestions for this year's chosen charity ,and so, after a short summary from some of our members we voted to have Weston Young Carers for our fund raising in 2019
We were also invited to vote for one of the resolutions to be brought before the WI Federation at the Annual general Meeting. The deadline is before our February Meeting. They are as follows:
1.
Improving plant biosecurity in the UK
2.
Trees- Improving the natural landscape3. Pelvic floor education
4. Suffering in silence, why we need to end the taboo around menstrual health
5. A call against the decline in local bus services
6. Don't fear the smear
Finally we wished all of our members whose birthdays were before the next meeting a Happy Birthday. The committee have decided to do this at every meeting.
